          Moms. Sometimes they know exactly what to say.

          Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who holds his family close, knows this quite well. Before her son's team faced the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, Wanda Lacy sent two wonderful messages to inspire her son.
